Also! think he (Mr has used some really unnecessary phrasing And I don’t like his calling this area “a God forsaken desert I don't think God ever created more beauty anywhere If Mr Oldtimcr hates it that bad why didn’t he move out long ago? I love Moab and all Its surroundings and I’ve met people from all parts of our Nation who'vc said they’d move here tomorrow if they could And if it is so God forsaken why do people keep coming here to make it their home and to retire or just visit Another thing Mr Oldtimer said he has ready to invest and he expects to make it back on the first lot he sells Most of the rest of us are not so well off as that I’ve also read Charles Downings commentary He says he’s a newcomer 1 I am a native of Utah was bom and grew up in Ferron Emery County (adjoining us on the West) and 1 know as any native of Utah knows the t's $3-000- can-- n question of the Mill Creek Thomas Old-time- Therefore he sec both sides of the it ad value of water and I want it under stood here and now that am all for the I Mill Creek Dam Consider who you were called johny-copj- e lalelys what is going to happen if Moab keeps growing - and it will what will happen with out more water storage what is going to happen to your lawn or flowers or garden plot? if you have these - or how are you going to say make a pot of tea or coffee what will you give your cat or dog to -- r) -- drink unless there's water? I’ve been here in Moab 22 years and I’ve seen the supply getting scarcer each year in spite of additional wells and storage tanks Every time a new well is drilled it takes an extra toll from the underground water supply and every summer I see the force from my own well get weaker and weaker So if Moab continues to grow as it will there’s GOT to be something done for an assurance of water for your homes Mr and Mrs Newcomer for gardens and lawns and how can industry — any kind of industry operate or even 00 JMWmVmE$HAS SOME ASKED FDD VOUR BUSINESS CAKE iwttn CATifS TuM UP PAT'S TEXACO pMUNr p eur w SERVICE ra :koh pruvfHV Sr at iWAiRm At l CM ‘A Mr PATRICK NOIFT AM YOU DIDST HM OBI?
